[00:11.79]I Am Losing a Battle - ArlenaZara
[00:12.04]The title captures the exact
[00:15.66]visceral shock of heartbreak
[00:18.93]my heart stops perfectly describes that
[00:22.64]breathless terrifying moment when the world tilts on its axis
[00:27.93]whether it is a second the word it is over leaving his mouth
[00:32.71]or the moment you finally realize the truth
[00:37.71]it is a physical reaction to an emotional wound
[00:41.46]here are the complete lyrics for my heart stops
[00:44.75]I kept the words simple focusing on that sudden freezing sensation of grief
[00:50.27]the structure is paced for a female vocalist
[00:53.78]to start with a fragile stunned vocal
[00:56.40]before building into a powerful desperate belt
[01:00.21]in the chorus for a three minute emotional ballad
[01:08.29]my heart stops
[01:22.17]We were standing in the kitchen the sun was shining bright
[01:25.77]I was making us some coffee I thought everything was right
[01:29.21]then you looked down at your hands and you took a heavy breath
[01:32.74]and the words that left your mouth scared me to death
[01:35.94]you said we needed to talk you said you couldn't lie
[01:39.67]and I watched our whole future just suddenly die
[01:43.09]my heart stops
[01:44.72]the room starts to spin
[01:46.61]I am losing a battle that I didn't know I was in
[01:50.98]the air leaves my lungs and I fall to the floor
[01:54.21]because you tell me you don't wanna love me anymore
[01:57.86]you say that it is over and the
[02:00.00]whole world drops in right inside my chest
[02:03.98]my heart stops
[02:06.08]my heart stops
[02:08.78]I try to find my voice but I cannot make a sound
[02:15.34]I am staring at the shadows falling down upon the ground
[02:18.81]you are grabbing your jacket and you reach for the door
[02:22.05]and the beautiful life that we built isn't breathing anymore
[02:25.72]you say you are so sorry you say it is for the best
[02:29.02]while I'm holding the shattered pieces inside of my chest
[02:33.15]is this really happening?
[02:42.15]is this really the end?
[02:45.59]how do I say goodbye to my very best friend?
[02:52.49]I am frozen in time
[02:55.85]while you are walking away
[02:59.53]and my lips are too numb
[03:02.80]to even beg you to stay
[03:06.28]cause my heart stops
[03:08.04]the room starts to spin
[03:10.00]I am losing a battle that I didn't know I was in
[03:14.39]the air leaves my lungs and I fall to the floor
[03:17.62]because you tell me you don't wanna love me anymore
[03:21.23]you say that it is over and the whole world drops in right inside my chest
[03:27.40]my heart stops
[03:34.39]it just stopped beating for you
[03:40.91]what am I supposed to do?
[03:44.33]everything is going dark
[03:55.25]my heart stops
[03:59.17]my heart stops
